A bloody ear!

A bloodstained letter from home!

Huang Zu was stunned for a moment, looking at the two things on the ground, his expression dazed.

In the next second, Huang Zu's face twitched, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly guessed something.

Holding back his excitement, he leaned down, picked up the family letter, and opened it tremblingly.

That book was indeed Huang Jie's handwriting, which proved that he was still alive, which made Huang Zu breathe a sigh of relief.

But the content of that letter made Huang Zu more and more annoyed, his face became more and more gloomy and solemn, and anger rolled in his chest.

In that family letter, Huang Zu praised Su Zhe, and the sycophants were so numb that he persuaded him not to follow Liu Biao as a traitor, to understand the general situation, to lead the troops and horses of his headquarters as soon as possible, to withdraw to Xiakou, and to wait for the will of the Son of Heaven.

In the end, Huang Zhu also emphasized that if he didn't do it, their father and son would never see each other again.

How could Huang Zu not see that Huang Biao was threatened by Su Zhe and was forced to write this humiliating persuasion, just to force him to return to Jiangxia and let Liu Biao's plan to attack Fancheng again be stillborn.

And the bloody severed ear is clearly a yellow ear.

Su Zhe sent this ear together to warn him Huang Zu, if you dare not listen to persuasion, the next time it will not be your son's ear, but his head.

Huang Zu picked up the ear tremblingly, imagining the pain of his son's ear being cut off, the anger in his chest burned wildly, and his face was about to explode with anger.

After staring for a long time, Huang Zu tore the book to shreds and scolded: "Su Zhe, you cheap dog, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!" ”

The generals on the left and right were all frightened by Huang Zu's crazy roar, and they all retreated, all of them frightened.

After scolding for a long time, Huang Zu stared at Fancheng on the north bank, eager to put on his wings and fly over, and immediately tear Su Zhe to pieces.

It's just that after scolding for a long time, Huang Zu finally ran out of strength and fell on the horse's back weakly.

The river wind blew, Huang Zu shivered, his anger gradually weakened, but his mind calmed down again.

"Huang Zu, Huang Zu, you must be calm, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, if you are impulsive, the murderous shot is killed by the Su thief, you will be the last......"

In his head, the voice of reason kept shouting at him, and finally persuaded him to completely cool down.

He had no choice.

Because he, the head of the Huang family, only has such a single seedling son as Huang Jie, if Huang Zhu has three longs and two shorts, he can only choose from those nephews for the position of the head of the family in the future.

How could he be willing?

"That's it, who called Shot'er, this indisputable thing, fell into the hands of that dog thief, for the sake of my Huang family's incense inheritance, I can only swallow this evil breath temporarily......"

Huang Zu secretly made up his mind, and immediately rode straight to the big tent, picked up a pen to repair a book, and sent someone to send Pegasus to Xiangyang.

Immediately afterwards, he did not wait for Liu Biao's reply, and immediately ordered more than 20,000 Jiangxia soldiers from his descendants to board the ship immediately, putting on a posture that they were going to return to Xiakou by water.

Of course, Huang Zu was not so stupid, just because of Su Zhe's threat, he was obedient.

If this is the case, another day Su Zhe will send a yellow shot in the ear again to coerce him to make Liu Biao's rebellion, will he not be able to hear it.

So Huang Zu immediately sent someone to Fancheng and made conditions to Su Zhe:

If you want me to withdraw my troops back to Xiakou, it's okay, you have to release my son's yellow shot.

Soon, the messenger returned to the camp and brought back Su Zhe's reply:

As long as you withdraw to Xiakou, after three months, I will release the yellow shot.

Huang Zu knew that this was because Su Zhe was afraid that he would breach the contract and refused to release Huang Zhu easily, so he had to delay it for three months.

Of course, he was also worried that Su Zhe would regret it after three months, but he was worried that he would not have a choice, who would let his son hold Su Zhe's side, and the bargaining chips would be the greatest.

After hesitating again and again, Huang Zu finally gave the order, and the ships set sail and retreated to Xiakou in the starry night.

When the remnant sun was slanting westward, in the Jingzhou water camp on the south bank of the Han River, hundreds of large and small warships slowly drove out of the water camp, carrying more than 25,000 Jiangxia soldiers, and sailed away from the water camp and went downstream.

At the bow of the flagship, Huang Zu clenched his fists and froze, staring at the north shore with his eyes dead, watching Fan Cheng pass through the fire in front of him, his eyes burning with anger and unwillingness.

"Su Zhe dog thief, I, Huang Zu, swear to the sky, if I don't kill you with my own hands, I swear not to be a human, you wait, just wait for my son to return peacefully, I will want your dog's life!"

The boat is drifting away.

At the south gate of Fancheng, Su Zhezheng looked idle, and he was also standing at the head of the city, watching Huang Zu go south.

The soldiers on the left and right, watching the most elite Jiangxia soldiers withdraw from the south bank, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone rejoiced.

"As soon as Huang Zu leaves, Liu Biao will no longer have the ability to counterattack Fancheng, old general Yizhen, now we can sit back and relax and go back to Wancheng for a few drinks." Su Zhe smiled and looked at Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song also smiled with relief and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He suddenly thought of something, so he asked: "Su Fu Yin, you promised Huang Zu that he would release his son in three months, will you really fulfill the agreement?" ”

"How is it possible, Huang Jie is so useful, the lord still wants to keep him to coerce Huang Zu, how can he let that kid go." Without waiting for Su Zhe to answer, Hu Che'er shouted self-righteously.

Su Zhe glanced at him, Hu Che'er hurriedly stuck out his tongue and obediently closed his mouth.

He said lightly: "I, Su Zhe, have always done what I say, so since Huang Zu has retreated as promised, as soon as the time limit is up, I will release Huang Zhe as promised." ”

When Hu Che'er heard this, he immediately opened his mouth in shock, but he didn't dare to squeak.

Huangfu Song nodded slightly, but asked again: "Aren't you afraid, if you release Huang Shot on the front foot, Huang Zu will raise troops to the north and kill Fancheng on the back foot?" ”

"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, I am not afraid of him now, three months later, I have more soldiers and horses, I am more prepared, and I will be afraid that he will not succeed." Su smiled disdainfully, looking proud.

Huangfu Song didn't ask any more, but between his eyebrows, he quietly swept up a little appreciation, and secretly thought in his heart: "This Su Ziming is not only extraordinary, but also rare and does what he says, this bearing is really amazing." ”

When everyone sighed, on the Han River ahead, the enemy's warships had disappeared on the line of Tianshui downstream.

Su Zhe flicked his hand and said with a smile: "Huang Zu slipped away, Fan Cheng sat back and relaxed, we can drink him happily now, let's go, I invite you to drink." ”

All the generals laughed, in a very good mood, and went down the city with Su Zhe.

……

Xiangyang City.

It was night, but the state capital was brightly lit.

In the main hall, Liu Biao stood with his hands in his hands, staring closely at the map hanging high on the wall, listening to the report of the Kuai brothers.

"Yesterday, Cai Mao just sent back the news that Wuling was too guarded by Jinxuan, and when he learned that our army was pressing, he had already planned to surrender, but after hearing that our Fancheng was defeated, he suddenly repented and continued to resist stubbornly and refused to surrender."

Reading the war report, Kuai Yue presented the silk book and asked Liu Biao to see it in person.

Liu Biao waved his hand in annoyance, and between his eyebrows, there was a trace of worry.

The bad impact of the defeat of Fancheng was finally manifested, and he thought that the rebellion against the three counties of Jingnan would be like a devastating and decaying peace, but it evolved into such a stalemate as it is now.

"Huang Zu~~" Liu Biao secretly clenched his fists, with a complex expression of love and hate.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Biao let go of his fist and asked, "What about Huang Zu, how is he preparing, when can he cross the river?" ”

Kuai Liang hurriedly said: "Back to the lord, we still have 10,000 soldiers and horses on the way, Huang Zu said, at most seven days, and as soon as these 10,000 soldiers and horses arrive, he will immediately cross the river to recapture Fancheng." ”

Liu Biao's expression improved slightly, and he nodded: "I hope this time, he won't let me down, and it's best to save his reputation as the No. 1 general in Jingzhou in this battle." ”

Kuai Yue smiled and said with relief: "The reason why Su Thief was able to win was because of a sudden headwind, I think, his luck will not be so good forever."

Liu Biao nodded slightly, and his frowning brows finally relaxed.

At this moment, a personal soldier hurried in and delivered an urgent letter, claiming to be Huang Zu's handwriting.

"Read it." Liu praised and raised his hand.

The soldiers unfolded the letter and read it aloud: "The last general has just received the news that there is a rebellion in Xiakou, and the stakes are very high, and the last man has no time to ask the lord for his resignation, so he has led his troops and horses back to Xiakou to quell the rebellion, please forgive me." ”

In the lobby, everyone changed color in an instant.

Liu Biao's face changed even more, and without waiting for the soldiers to finish reading, he turned around suddenly, snatched the letter, and eagerly looked down at it.

The letter was clearly written in black and white, and Huang Zu wanted to lead his own troops and horses and retreat to Xiakou.

"Bastard! The battle of crossing the river is imminent, you dare to lead your troops and horses back to Xiakou without authorization, you are so bold! Liu Biao scolded angrily and threw the letter in his hand to the ground.

When the two brothers of the Kuai family picked it up, their faces changed even more in shock.

Kuai Yue said suspiciously: "Huang Zu said before that he left his henchmen and 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Xiakou City, how could he be so good that there would be a sudden rebellion?" ”

"No matter how important Xiakou City is, is it more important than Xiangyang City in this mansion? The recapture of Fancheng is a matter of Xiangyang's safety, how can he be so indistinguishable! Liu Biao scolded angrily.

At this time, Kuai Liang said in a solemn tone: "The most critical thing about Huang Zu's move is not that he can't distinguish the severity, but that he, as my general in Jingzhou, raised troops to Xiangyang without the order of the lord before, and now without the permission of the lord, he took it upon himself to lead the army back to Xiangyang, what does he want to do, does he still have the lord in his eyes?" ”

Liu Biao was so angry that his eyes erupted, and his fists clenched until they clicked.

Kuai Yue said: "Now that our army has gathered on the south bank, and the crossing of the river is imminent, at such an important moment, Huang Zu should not be so rude, and he will retreat without the order of the lord." ”

As soon as the words fell, another personal soldier hurriedly entered and exclaimed: "My lord, General Wen has sent an urgent report that General Huang has led 25,000 Jiangxia soldiers to forcibly board the ship and retreat along the river to Xiakou." ”

In an instant, Liu Biao felt as if his head had been struck by lightning, he was dizzy, and a mouthful of old blood reached his throat.
